I used to do this when I did stand-up comedy. If I had a really long list of one-liners to remember, I'd mentally connect each one to a different part of the room, a table, a stage light, or an article of clothing I was wearing. Then I could just scan the room and deliver the jokes rapid-fire.

Thanks for the fun and informative video about memory palaces. I have hundreds that I use for different purposes. I've used houses, apartments, and dorms I've lived in, schools, parks, neighborhoods, workplaces, and even movies and TV episodes as memory palaces. I used them to memorize Pi to about 5,600 places, and have used them in the Long-Term Memory events of the USA Memory Championship, which I've competed in 4 times, finishing as high as 3rd place in this year's competition.

@Red William Oh, yes. The peg system is a valid technique, one that is easy to learn and apply. You can impress people very quickly by learning a peg system, and it is useful for learning things in a sequence, like words or Presidents, stuff like that. I will say that the Memory Palace (or Method of Loci) is more flexible and easier to learn, especially if you trying to memorize a huge amount of data. For example, if you're trying to memorize 1,000s of digits of Pi, you're not going to want to try to memorize 1,000s of pegs. It will be much easier to use locations that you're familiar with, and you'll find it much less effort than trying to remember 1,000s of pegs. The peg system I would say, for most people, is most useful if you're trying to memorize no more than 100 or so items.

@Red William There's really no shortcut to getting good. You just have to learn a technique and do a lot of practice. You can create memory palaces quite quickly from the places you're most familiar with, like your home, former homes, workplace, schools, parks, downtown, etc. Once you learn the sequence of your loci, go over them in your head until you know the sequence almost instinctively. Then practice putting images on them to represent things you want to remember. For abstract things, like numbers or playing cards, you're going to want to use a system to transform the numbers or cards into predetermined images. Your brain will have a MUCH easier time remembering images than it will abstract things.

@@8bitmagic is that a recent one? A stage show? I thought his last stage show was miracle in 2016/17 in Glasgow. Amazing!!!!! I laugh at people who think he’s magic when he goes to extreme length to show he isn’t. He trying to show how a non magic person can fool you. But there’s no convincing some people. I get what you mean loci takes personalisation…… think of something you love and know a lot about. Films, tv, games, science, history whatever…. And makes the mnemonic process easier. Learn the presidents or the order of episodes on your favourite show. And use those as visual reminders. Eg I loved and stil do buffy. I know all the episodes in order and I’ll never forget them, so I use those. Eg shopping list I need toothpaste (welcome to the hellmouth) I need veg (the harvest) I need painkillers and (the witch) I need bread for sandwich (teachers pet) I need condoms (never kiss boy on the first date Beer (the pack) Pasta (angel) New charger ( I robot, you Jane) You for neohew (the puppet show ) Nightmares ( chocolate) Hair gel and razors (Out of mind out of sight) Fruit juice (prophecy girl) But the classic is visually picture things in a known geographical location it does work but it take practice, and you have to bend it a bit to make it easier For you. Truck is use a metaphor that you’re interest in, action movies, football, food etc because you’re not learning knew things you’re adding to what you know.

I’ve only used this method once as an experiment and it worked. I usually use repetition to memorise things that are boring. Interesting things I remember with no effort. I’m starting higher education in the next few years as a mature student, I love the subject but I’m preparing myself to use these methods.

I can't remember where I first learnt of this technique, which is ironic, but it works so well and requires very little effort. For example, I once advised a guy I worked with to download and install BlueStacks sound driver on his PC. We had nothing like a pen between us, so I just told him to picture a stack of blue chairs in a specific location. He was fascinated by the idea that this could help him remember, and when I saw him next he was really buzzing about how he remembered it from the image. But this is only entry level, I've remembered lists of a crazy amount of things just by forming a vivid surreal picture in my mind. It has to be vivid, free of complicating factors, and helps to be surreal. But each element is a reminder of something. I suppose it could sound complex and clever, but it's really a very simple and concentrated way of focusing the natural memory skills you already have.

The method goes by many names, some even call it roman rooms, but it is most commonly known as the memory palace.

This same strategy is used by people in memory competitions, but they use the term 'memory palace.'

The thing that’s somewhat discouraging, of all the people I’ve met in life, that have incredible long & short term memories... they aren’t actually using Loci or memory palace techniques, which I find incredibly amazing (and also frustrating) in that memorization seems to come incredibly easy to some, while others have to apply a ton of special antidotes, just to try and remember things from one moment to the next :(

This might sound strange but when I have a hard time remembering something I say to my subconscious, subconscious do your job and give me the answer I'm looking for and it usually works, not immediately but it will pop into my head when I'm thinking of or doing something else.

Can't wait to wake up tomorrow calling my mother and trying to find my suit to take to the dry cleaners.

I assumed it’d be too difficult for me to use this method, but I’ve just realized that I’ve basically done this subconsciously before on my walk while listening to music. I often get very introspective on my walks, and certain songs end up imprinting themselves in my memory when I pass by those specific areas. Albeit this only works because of my introspective nature and the fact that my route is the same every time, and remembering songs is way different than committing bits of information to memory.

Perhaps link it to a story or an acronym. The basic concept is taking large amounts of information and condensing it into one bit of information. Like "my very excited mother just serves us nachoes" each first letter corresponding to the first letter of a planet in our solar system in order from the sun. Personally I always just hammer the info in my head and have a pretty good memory when I am engaged. I memorized like 30-40 digits of pi in an hour because I was bored in a study hall. It was about putting the info in and just stacking on top of it. I can only say them in order though I'd have to count them out if you asked a specific number. I actually do this with months too except the ones that are easy to remember like Jan is 1 and December is 12. As long as you form connections making big pieces of info into a smaller easier to remember format, you get the gist. It's like different compression formats on computers, .zip .rarr .7z, humans gotta make up their own compression format for the hardware they got lol.

Seems like more effort than just writing it down.

Make sure you don't tell anyone you are using methods like this. It means you can no longer say 'i forgot' as an excuse to get out of things.

Did he just teach me a lesson in stereotyping everyone i meet so i remember them by there name ..... :D ....lol ...It easy to remember by remembering to stereotype everything ... how have i not discovered this yet
